Made H!s Demands Definite.
The "minimum wage” Idea appeals
to one English boy who was asked the
other day by his teach er to w rite, as
the daily composition, a le tte r to his
father asking for an Increase in pock
et money. The boy set forth th e need
of large funds, and ended w ith a
courteous dem and for a "minimum
sum of money.” One of the reasons
for the demand was th a t the boy did
not get enough taffy to e a t and had
q o papers to read.

W ashington, D. C.— Final a rra n g e

o f governm ent tim b e r to the S ierra
Sugar Pine compauy, a C alifornia cor
poration, will shortly be concluded in
San Francisco by C hief F o rester
H enry S. G raves, who is due to arriv e
th ere on S eptem ber 28.
The tim b er, which stands in the S i
e rra national forest, has already been
aw arded, a fte r public advertisem ent,
but, under th e term s of the ad v ertise
m ent, th e c o n tract will not become
binding until the company has been
shown on th e ground w h at tim b e r the
governm ent will reserv e in order to
provide for reproduction, and as
agreed in w ritin g to th e term s im
posed.
The company will be allowed to cut
in full 800,000,000 feet, b u t it will
not be allowed to cu t clean. As a
rule, th e F o rest Service reserves about
one-third of th e stand.
“ Such larg e and long-term sales are
a new developm ent of the serv ice,”
said C hief F o re ste r G raves. “ G reat
bodies of m atu re but inaccessible tim
b er can be p u t on th e m a rk e t only if
sale contracts are le t on term s which
w ill ju s tify a very heavy in itial in
vestm ent in tran sp o rta tio n facilities.
In e n te rin g into such contracts, how
ever, special safeg u ard s to p ro tect the
public ag a in st monopoly and to pre
v en t an undue speculative profit to the
purchaser are employed.
“ The national fo rests contain the
eq uivalent o f nearly 600,000,000,000
fe e t of tim b e r now o f m erchantable
size, besides young grow th fo r fu tu re
harvest. Because o f its rem oteness
from m arket, only a sm all percentage
can now be sold on any term s. The
sale of less th an one-fifth of 1 per cent
of o ur to tal supply to one company
leaves plenty o f room for com petition
by o th er companies.
“ The tim b e r w hich has been sold to
th e C alifornia com panies lies well
back in the S ierra N evada m ountains
and will req u ire the construction of 70
m iles of standard gauge railroad to
open up th e area.
The company is
given a c u ttin g period o f 22 y ears to
rem ove th e tim b er, besides an addi
tional two y ears for th e construction
of logging and m an u factu rin g facili
ties.
“ For several y ears th e F o rest S er
